Mind-body-SPINE connection. We hear much about the mind-body connection. Since we are a member of the chiropractic profession,
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa adds “spine” to this connection, making
it much more specific to what we observe in our West Des Moines
back pain and neck pain patients. When the spine hurts, the mind and body cannot
help but hurt, too. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa designs individualized West Des Moines
chiropractic treatment plans for spine pain, back pain, neck pain and related
arm and leg pain sufferers that include chiropractic
treatment, nutrition, and home exercise. The
addition of mindfulness practices to these spine care
practices is many times beneficial and encouraged.
MIND-BODY-SPINE PAIN
Spine pain, back pain, neck pain wears on a
person. Pain frequently keeps a sufferer
from accomplishing what he or she wants/needs to do and from enjoying life. When working with your West Des Moines
chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa on the physical pain relief, a back pain patient
can take a mindful approach to coping with the mind’s
struggle with the pain and associated
depression and/or fluctuating levels of sadness is found
to help. In a study of lumbar disc herniation patients
with back pain who used a mindfulness-based therapy, researchers discovered
that mindfulness-based treatment had a positive effect
on pain beliefs and psychological well-being. (1) Additionally,
researchers found that even in countries with accessible,
well-developed mental health services,
underutilization of those services is common. It is better than it used to be
with all the notice mental health has seen of
late. Many do not seek it out as they may. One interesting
note about those who do seek help resulted from their knowing
someone with a mental health issue which positively influenced
them to seek help for their own issue. (2) Whether you know someone who has a mental health issue or not, don’t avoid seeking assistance with depression related to
West Des Moines back pain. Today, there are numerous options to
get support for pain-related depression. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers
evidence-based treatment via the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain
Management to cope with the physical aspect of spine
pain and encourages our West Des Moines back pain sufferers to consider using
a mindfulness practice to deal with the mind’s mental side
of spine pain.
